If you’re struggling to cope, you’re not alone. When everything feels like too much, even small things can help you through the moment:

☀️ Step outside, even if it’s just for a minute
📱 Text someone you trust, even if it’s just a “hi”
💤 Let yourself rest, without feeling guilty for it

And if it still feels heavy, that’s okay. You don’t have to carry it alone. Text or call 988 anytime to connect with someone who cares. 💙
